System Security
Explore the encryption, access controls, and platform protections that safeguard sensitive data across all DekkoSecure services.
For the units that handle the material no one else can see.
ICAC task forces and special investigation units work with the most sensitive and confidential evidence in law enforcement.
DekkoDEMS is built so that this material is never exposed: not to a lost drive, not to a breach, and not to us. The evidence is mathematically inaccessible to the vendor and to the cloud provider. That guarantee holds while the platform stays simple to use.
Zero-knowledge encryption, no vendor access

The current workflow
Are your agents wasting valuable time driving insecure and expensive USBs, hard drives, and SSD cards to partner agencies?
Are your agents wasting valuable time collecting sensitive digital evidence in person?
Secure evidence lifecycle management.
ICAC investigations generate large volumes of highly sensitive material including victim content, undercover operation files, and forensic datasets. Legacy methods (physical media, email, and disconnected storage) introduce exposure risk, break custody trails, and create unverifiable copies of the most sensitive material in law enforcement.
DekkoDEMS replaces these workflows with a single encrypted system. Evidence is uploaded once and immediately available to authorized investigators, federal partners, and prosecutors. In-app review eliminates local downloads. Physical media is removed from the workflow entirely.
Why zero knowledge is non-negotiable for ICAC
In ICAC investigations, vendor access to platform data is an unacceptable risk. The nature of the evidentiary material means that any unauthorized access can constitute a serious disclosure event with federal legal implications.
DekkoSecure's zero-knowledge architecture provides the only technically enforceable guarantee against such exposure. Unlike policy-based commitments, which can be overridden by insider threat or a cloud-layer breach, the architectural guarantee cannot be overridden. The vendor genuinely cannot access the data because it never holds the decryption keys.
Physical media eliminated from the evidence workflow.
Evidence transfer time reduced from days to minutes.
A complete, tamper-proof audit trail covering all inter-agency evidence sharing.
All within a platform that, by architectural design, the vendor itself cannot access.
Zero-knowledge architecture
How it works
1
Each user has their own keys
Every authorized user has a unique public/private key pair. The private key stays under the user's control and is never made available to the platform.
2
Every file is encrypted before storage
When a file is uploaded, it is encrypted with its own unique file key before it is stored. This means each file is protected independently.
3
Access is granted without exposing the file
When a file is shared, its file key is securely wrapped for each authorized recipient. The platform can store and deliver the encrypted file, but it cannot unlock or read it.
4
Decryption happens only on the user's device
Only an authorized user's private key can unlock the file key and decrypt the file. Plaintext is never available to the platform, its administrators, or the cloud provider.
No master keys
No central decryption point
No vendor access to content
The platform facilitates access, but it never holds the keys required to decrypt user data.
Built for your team
Advanced security, without the complexity.
The protection is sophisticated. Using it is not. DekkoDEMS is a web-based platform your team can adopt without specialist training, and the hardest parts of the security happen automatically, out of sight.
Onboard in minutes
Nothing to install. Your team signs in through the browser and starts working in minutes.
No user limits
Add every investigator, partner, and prosecutor a case needs. No per-seat limits to manage or budget around.
Simple to use
If your team can use a browser, they can use DekkoDEMS. Built for investigators, not engineers.
Transparent key exchange
Encryption and key exchange happen automatically. No keys to handle, nothing to configure.
